This year we were actually around for the fourth of July. Since we didn't go camping we went to the parade. Elly loved this float with all the royalty on it. The boys were more interested in picking up the candy.
The kids had fun watching the parade and since we weren't by a lot of people they actually were able to have fun.
Drake really had fun. He has finally kind of figured out the whole parade thing and picking up candy. Normal he would get one piece and want to just eat it and wouldn't really worry about another piece until he was finished.
After the parade we took the kids to the movie. We watched "Despicable me 2." We all loved it! Before we went into the movie we knew we had a flat tire but knew we would miss the movie if we tried to fix it before so we decided to just fix it afterwards. When we got out of the movie it was very flat. Jay got the tire changed with the help of some people we know that had also been at the movie. After we headed back home but made a stop in Huntington to watched the fireworks.
I only had my phone to try and get pictures with so they aren't very good.
Since we have been playing baseball all summer we still had our camp chairs and blankets in the biggie.
When we got home the kids wanted to do sparklers. Jay even got in on the action. This year I grabbed the wrong sparklers so they were really junky and not near as fun as the normal ones.
The boys still tried to light everything they could find on fire from bugs to garbage.
These junky sparklers made Elly a little nervous because they let off big pieces of hot paper.
Drake only did a couple before he ended up burning his nose with one and then was sad and wouldn't touch them anymore.
We had a fun fourth of July going from one thing to the next. I think the movie was probably everyone's favorite part of the day though.
